Yeah, the sky is falling. I remember how badly prepared campus and the apartments nearby were the last time temperatures were below freezing. I spent a lot of time slipping and sliding and falling trying to just get off campus and go back to my room to sleep (the temperatures dropped early evening that day).
I expect this place to be entirely shut down for a little bit. Which means I can catch up with sleep. Read the books I’ve brought down (this includes Benardete’s study of the Republic). Or blog an insane amount and show just how much I love the sound of my own voice.
Things are good down here. I’m taking a class and it is going well. I’m settled with housing and I eat very well. And yes, scholarly articles are being read. They will be responded to shortly. I might actually be having a bit too much fun at the moment, which either means: 1) I’m a loser because no one at my age should be taking a class, be basically on campus all the time and bugging undergrads or 2) I’ve got this Socrates impression down pretty well.
Are you going to be in TX for an extended period of time?
